Question 2

The serial (Von Neumann) computer is not the only possible computational metaphor for the
mind. Another computational device that has interesting implications for models of cognition is
the connectionist (parallel processing) machine. It is attractive in part because:

a. it helps to explain how the capacity parameters of STM and LTM can be so radically
different.
b. it leads to a model that is consistent with dual code theory.
c. it is effective in showing how procedural knowledge can become automatic with practice.
d. it seems to conform to the distribution of knowledge utilizing a neuron-like architecture.
